North Plainfield High School Reviews
Rating 3.61 out of 5 183 reviews
NPHS is a good overall experience. Like other schools, there can always be improvement for more student and parent involvement in activities. Best part of my experience is having an administration that cares and is there for the students. Worst part is lack of parking for both teachers and students.
North Plainfield is a great place for the culture and diversity. I loved my teachers and there are a lot of club opportunities. This biggest fault is that the academics are not at the rigor necessary for college preparedness. I also did not get much college guidance and sought out most information my self. There is no SAT prep and limited AP classes. If you are looking for a career in STEM, NP does not meet the criteria for preparing for a career in this field. Most clubs and arts programs do not have a lot of funding and most of the sports teams aren't great due to underfunding as well.
The best part of being at North Plainfield High School are the teachers and that most of the teachers are very good attentive and always help us with our homework or exams.
Bad things that I would like to change. I don't have the whole summary of my High School Year. It's been very good
